This workshop challenges commonly held notions about childrens’ capacity to consider suicide. It facilitates awareness of the signs that a young child may be at risk and what is needed to help. Case studies provide opportunities to apply what is learned, a helper tool teaches how to organize and summarize the available information about a given child in a form that can be used by someone, perhaps the participants themselves, in safety planning. Participants are typically helpers who routinely come into contact with children age 5-14.
The ASK Workshop can also be presented face-to-face, both formats are highly interactive, energizing learning experiences. Contact us if you wish to bring this amazing child suicide prevention workshop to your community.
